Custom Rugs: How to Order a Made-to-Measure Rug
How to order a custom rug — choose your exact size, colour, shape and design. Here is how made-to-measure rugs work and when to choose one.
A custom rug is made to your exact size, colour, shape and design — so it fits your room perfectly instead of forcing your room to fit a standard rug. With a made-to-order maker, you choose the dimensions, the colourway and even the pattern, and the rug is woven by hand just for you.
When should you order a custom rug?
- Your room falls between two standard sizes.
- You have an unusual shape — round, runner, L-shaped or oversized.
- You want a specific colour to match your interior.
- You want a one-of-a-kind design or an exact pattern.
How to order a custom rug
- Measure your space and decide the placement (see the size guide).
- Choose construction — hand-knotted for heirloom quality, hand-tufted for a softer budget option.
- Pick colour and design — share a swatch or inspiration.
- Confirm and weave — the rug is hand-made to order, then delivered insured.
How long does a custom rug take?
Because it is woven by hand, a custom rug takes a few weeks to a few months depending on size and construction. Hand-knotted rugs take the longest, but last the longest too.
